Center for the Surgical Treatment of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders University of California, San Francisco San Francisco VA Medical Center Essential Tremor: Surgical Treatment Two procedures, thalamotomy and thalamic stimulation, have demonstrated efficacy for the treatment of essential tremor. Thalamotomy involves the precise placement of a lesion in the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus using stereotactic neurosurgical techniques guided by microelectrode recordings. Thalamic stimulation is an alternative procedure whereby a stimulating electrode, implanted in the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus using techniques similar to those for thalamotomy, provides chronic electrical stimulation to that region of the thalamus.

All 11 evaluable patients noted improvement in action tremor. Six of eight ET patients had complete tremor arrest, and the violent action tremor in all three patients with MS was improved. One patient developed transient arm weakness. Stereotactic radiosurgery for ET and MS-related tremor is safe and effective for patients who may be poor candidates for other procedures.

Causes and Risks Essential tremor is the most common form of tremor . If an essential tremor occurs in more than one member within a family group it is termed a familial tremor Tremors occur at any age, but are most common in older people. An essential tremor is a relatively benign condition affecting movement or voice quality, but with no other effects. It involves a rhythmic, moderately rapid tremor of voluntary muscles. Purposeful movements may make the tremors worse. There may be difficulty holding or using a small object (such as eating or writing utensils). Emotional stress may also increase the tremors. Over time, the tremors may affect the hands, arms, head, voice box (larynx), eyelids, or other muscles. An essential tremor rarely involves the legs or feet. The cause is unknown. No structural or other lesions have been identified. It can start at any age and may stay the same or get worse as the person gets older. It may start in one body part, but it can progress to include other parts with time. Ency. home

Journal of Neurological Sciences (Turkish) Online Resources Table of Contents Norol Bil D, Volume 18, Issue 3: July-September 2001, #35 Essential tremor: A common movement disorder and emerging new alternatives in surgical treatment C. Berk Surgical Centre for Movement Disorders, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada ABSTRACT Essential tremor is one of the most common movement disorders. It usually effects the upper extremities, head, and voice. The course of essential tremor is variable, but it usually increases gradually over time and becomes a potential for functional disability and social embarrassment. Nearly half of the patients with essential tremor presenting for treatment can not be controlled with currently available medical therapy, therefore many patients become surgical candidates in the long term. Stereotactic movement disorder surgery; namely thalamotomy and thalamic deep brain stimulation are proven to be very effective in controlling essential tremor. Patients having bilateral symptoms or head tremor may benefit from bilateral surgery. This paper reviews the common features and new surgical treatment alternatives for essential tremor. Key words: Head tremor, deep brain stimulation, thalamus, essential tremor, stereotactic surgery, bilateral thalamic stimulation

A condition that causes shaking of the hands, head and body especially when active or anxious. Many people often confuse essential tremor with Parkinson's disease because of the serve shaking, but E.T. is not life threaten. E.T. is often the cause of embarrassment for the majority of people who struggle with it daily. The shaking in essential tremor gets worse with anxiety and with simple activities like writing, eating or drinking a cup of coffee. The uncontrollable shaking also makes it difficult for people with essential tremor to be part of social and public situations. Kay Cooper is a sale representative at an accounting firm. She was diagnosed with essential tremor in 1981 but knows she has had it since she was a child.

Essential tremor (ET) is a nerve disorder characterized by uncontrollable shaking, or "tremors", in different parts and on different sides of the body. Areas affected often include the hands, arms, head, larynx, or voice box (making the voice sound shaky), tongue, chin and other areas. Rarely, the lower body is affected. ET is not a life-threatening disorder, unless it prevents a patient from caring for him/herself. Most people are able to live normal lives with this condition although they may find everyday activities like eating, dressing or writing difficult, which leads them to withdraw socially. But it is only when the tremors become severe that they actually cause disability. Symptoms of Essential Tremor The term "tremor" is used to describe the uncontrollable shaking, but that's a symptom that can be caused by a multitude of different factors and diseases including Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, fatigue after exercise, extreme emotional distress, brain tumors, some prescription drugs, metabolic abnormalities, and alcohol or drug withdrawal.
